Danada Equestrian Plan May Be Cut

October 28, 1987

The Du Page County Forest Preserve Commission is considering scaling down or redesigning the equestrian program it operates at the Danada Forest Preserve, near Wheaton, because of less-than-expected participation.

Roughly 40 percent of the cost of operating the $90,000 program is tax subsidized.

The cost of the program, now in its fourth year, has nearly doubled since 1986 but has yet to generate the participation that had been hoped for, according to district officials.
